Thanksgiving is a special time of year when families and friends get together and enjoy a delicious meal and spend time with each other. We’re all so busy most of the time that making that extra effort to come together is important and doesn’t have to only include the traditional food.  Here are some ideas to give your day an added boost of fun and tradition.

Participate in a turkey trot or just go for a walk and enjoy a leisurely stroll around your neighborhood or a local park.

Tune in to the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Watch the National Dog Show.

Start decorating for the holidays.

Football is another tradition, along with appetizers.

At the Thanksgiving table, let everyone say what they’re thankful for.

Thanksgiving movies are always a fun way to gather, either at home or the movie theater.

Play charades or bring out the board games.

Reminisce over family photo books.

Serve breakfast at a local soup kitchen  or help deliver Thanksgiving dinners to the community.

Call relatives that may not have been able to come to your gathering and let them know you’re thinking of them.

Take an after dinner or evening stroll.

Most of all, remember to be grateful for the people in your life and for all your blessings!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
